Abstract

In 2022, the Journal of Italian Cinema & Media Studies ( JICMS) marked its tenth anniversary and a return to its in-person international conference. The third edition was once again held at The American University of Rome on 16–18 June 2022. The directors, Flavia Laviosa and Catherine Ramsey-Portolano, welcomed 130 academics and researchers from eighteen countries who reflected the current trends and directions within the Italian screen industries and studies. The keynote speaker was Stephen Gundle, and the programme also included a screening of the film Un confine incerto (An Uncertain Border) (2019), directed and co-written by Isabella Sandri, and a virtual seminar on academic publishing delivered by Intellect.
